Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Exter or Fronx Which one is good in respect compact size outside but more specious inside?
  • The Hyundai Exter is a budget-friendly SUV with standout safety features (6 airbags), a tall stance, and ample boot space—ideal for daily urban use. In contrast, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx offers stronger engine options, better mileage, and premium features like a 360° camera and head-up display. Exter suits those focused on safety and value, while Fronx caters to buyers seeking performance and modern tech.
Q. Is it better than Baleno?
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. There’s a lot to like about the Fronx, and little to fault. It brings with it a likeable balance between a premium hatchback, a sub-compact SUV and a compact SUV. The Fronx is ticking the basics of style, space, comfort and everyday usability. A few more features or a smaller asking price would’ve made it a whole lot easier for us to recommend it. On the other hand, the new Baleno is still a safe and sensible choice. Now with the design changes, feature additions, and improved drive, it has become more desirable too. Some things could have been better though. Maruti Suzuki should have improved the seating comfort, given it a more powerful petrol engine option, and made more significant changes to the exterior to help it look like a brand-new car. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealershipdetails.
